The sad part it's actually more than that. 20 for $30, but they're doing a 10% discount. What a steal!

Just bought for $30 from Best Buy. The Black Friday prices are already going live all over. Sheesh.
Still don't get why the spawning system seemingly doesn't take enemy location into account at all in any Battlefield game.This was a pretty dope spawn.

Yea everything you said is what I do pretty much with the attack plane. Nothing better than taking out a tailing plane with a seat switch. But yea, those ground turrets man...wtf... Honestly when someone gets a bead on me I really can't shake them. But I will respawn and come around a different side and kill them, which is such a feeling.
Here's a question, how does the game determine when planes spawn, is it 3 per team, sometimes it feels like they have 4...but I'm always confused how the plane spawns work

Can't even remember the last time I was awarded a battle pack after a game and has to be close to 10 games now. Fuck this RNG shit.

Are 40 player Operations the way to play? I did an Operation for the first time just now at 64 players and while I had a generally good time, it kind of just turned into a complete one sided clusterfuck for the last 10 minutes.

It depends on the map, but generally it's 2-3. Some maps have an extra plane spawn. For instance, capping E on Empire's Edge gives a plane spawn. So you can see up to four planes at times. Obviously planes will respawn after X amount of time from being destroy. I don't know the timer on it.

40 is spot on, I find 64 just to be almost stupid annoying. I mean you have everyone focused in an area many times, so capping points you'll have about 900 nades just being thrown, 40 is perfect
yeah spawns are completely broken in this game.
really should have been the first thing addressed in the patch imo.
90 FOV works for me before things get distorted looking (not 90 on the slider, it will say 90 FOV if you read the description)

The one thing I will say about this game, it has great servers. My ping is always 25-75 max. This might not sound amazing to some people. However, I’m playing on 4G from my phone, so it’s damn good for me, lol. Then I go and play TF2, it says the data server is 65ms, but I’m always over 100 ping in that game.

Ok cool, because 64 definitely had its moments and showed to me that operations seems potentially amazing. Will try 40 tomorrow night. Attacking the last point on Monte Grappa was basically impossible at 64 players.
Definitely with ya. I'm usually at about a 20 ping and that stays around 20 in BF1. In Titanfall 2 the data center ping is about 20 but then in game it's 60-80. Same with Overwatch actually, I'm at around 60-80 in that too. But not BF1.
I just bought Battlefront Ultimate Edition with all DLC for 20 dollars. Don't think I will get battlepacks for that price.

As usual you are pretty bang on and I agree
Yeah it came live yesterday for people. I'd assume that next revision might include vehicle skins too.
Cool thanks ks I think that's about where I ended up. will check in morning. Not sure how much it helps but I seem to be playing alright

I found this on Reddit, literally the exact same spot!

Urgh that sucks, I am guessing it is the same case for other PS4 games :/
Disagree Guy

Yeah I think so. Theoretically it's possible as the PS4 OG may be possible to produce HDMI 2.0 however.....
Games would need to offer seperate features for HDR, 4K, 4k+HDR etc... and most will not do that. The OG PS4 is not capable of 4k of course.
Likewise with streaming. Amazon/netflix/youtube would need to offer seperate 4k and HDR options and at the moment they just aren't prepared to do that.

That's why i love Battlefield games and i always play big maps with vehicles/planes. You constantly have shit like this.
Capping a point prone in a bomb crater with gasmask on and suddenly a tank rolls over you, you dynamite it and then run for your life while the tank aims on you, meanwhile a Dreadnaught is shelling on the capping point and a horse is running past you missing you close with the sword. When you survive shit like this, these games (BF3 and 4 too) really shine and pump you up.
While lvling assault class i really miss the medic indicator when someone is down. That's pretty good for knowing that an enemy is around.

You aren't wrong. Moments like this are what makes BF games so special.
My biggest draw to this iteration has definitely been the squad play with UKps4Gaf. I can honestly say my most fun multiplayer experience to date. It's been a pleasure so far guys.
The bit about the tanks rolling over you and you end up dynamite blamming them - I can relate and it's an amazing feeling. I also like running from cover to cover towards a tank in between cannon blasts to get up close and personal. Feel like such a boss.

Sometimes it feels like I'm the only person who spots
I spot literally everything
Even if it's just 1v1 in a house I'll spot the guy before I shoot him
Pls spot folk

I do it if I am far away from them.
Being a shotty scumbag I am quite often right at the end of someone's nose when I see them so I don't always get a chance.
I concur though, spotting tanks is an absolute definite for me.

Haven't you been able to make it to the first party yet?
We had three debut's last night so there is regularly new people coming in. It fills up fast at 22:00 UK time but we always recommend setting up a second party if it does.
Fear not!
This Saturday 26th November at 22:00 UK time we are doing a big Gaf server for games against each other. 65 people in group chat and nearly 140 in community.
It should be a right laugh so try make it to that if you can

I'm not even in the community ^^
But me not playing a single match with UK Gaf is mostly down to squadding up with my Squad and having bants there. From reading up on your 'breifs' here it seems that we are way more serious while playing though.

Im pretty sure this guy was cheating. He went 130-10 on Argonne Forest. Ive seen other people go +100, but they're generally in tanks. Also he had a ~200 ping the whole time, which makes it really fishy.

Add me to Luvs_2_Squidge or request to join the community on ps4 if you fancy it.
It may sound like we are a really serious group but it's actually light hearted and we have really good banter. We all get on as mates.
When we attack is even more light-hearted because we smash the crap out of people. Defending does require a bit more organisation and focus but even then it's a laugh.
After the patch, this game is starting to act up like BF4 for me.
Quite a bit of deaths behind cover and shit like this:

For me this happens on the maps when I get loads of hit markers with the shotty
It must be something to do with lag/ping etc...
Well it's not my connection that's for sure because we've been able to confirm that this kinda stiff happens at the same time with the people I play with.
There was some really wonky stuff going on with BF4 servers and while it's nowhere near as bad, certain games are obviously way worse than others.
And this was on a regional server as well.
I can easily join overseas servers and have no issues whatsoever, but this is something that has really only started occurring after the patch.
Well, old BF4 anyway. BF4 in its current state doesn't do that nearly as often as BF1. Probably has something to do with BF1 servers only being 30hz. It feels like we've gone back in time.
Why I'm thankful for spotting flares.

Just picked this up on PC, looking forward to jumping into this now. Amazon UK has it down to £29.99 at the moment, I waited for a discount, as I'm not paying console prices for a PC game.

I just realized that one of them was a guy I killed earlier in the clip. Seems like they just spawned there. Bad luck.
Not the same, but you can use the new kill log option: It only shows when someone on your surroundings dies.

I also find the minimap quite useful because it tells you where shots have been fired from in that red reticle thing and a skull turns up if it's close enough by

The sound design is pretty terrible in this game though, too difficult to tell which direction the footsteps are coming from. Whether I play with headphones or with TV speakers, it just sounds the footsteps are coming from me. Too many times I've stopped and turned around paranoid that someone is there.
Or someone actually is there, but I looked the wrong direction.

Did you pre-order it? People said the same thing on UKps4Gaf last night

Just saw an enemy medic with a KDR of 140/3 mid match on PC on Suez. On foot, without using a vehicle. How do you report players on PC?
